The problems is with xampp 1.7.4

Same i have problems with the .exe erros over windows 7

What version of Joomla are you trying to install in XAMPP 1.7.4?

You could try uninstalling the XAMPP 1.7.4 installer version that you used by using the uninstall instructions in the readme file or on the XAMPP for Windows Home Page.

Next download the zip version and extract the xampp folder to the root of a drive or partition, for example to the C:\ drive so you end up with C:\xampp and then run the setup_xampp.bat file in this xampp folder - running the bat file is essential.

Now go to http://localhost and set your language and test your XAMPP installation by trying the demos and the access to phpMyAdmin that you will need to create a Joomla database also you can set any security passwords you need by going to the Security pages.

When you are happy that XAMPP is working as it should then and only then try and install and run Joomla.

If you follow the above instructions and Joomla fails to work then double check the Joomla installation instructions and if you feel you installed Joomla correctly but still it fails then it may be that the version of Joomla you are trying to install is not compatible with XAMPP 1.7.4 and so try an older version of Joomla then try again as a process of elimination.

1st: you tell someone to change something without any explaination what exactly this change will do.2nd: php.ini is the very central configuration file of your php development environment. Maybe there are people out there who uses other scripts at the same environment with Joomla and where suppressing notices and deprecated messages is not the thing they wish.3rd: supressing the messages don't work with Joomla versions prior 1.5.15.4th: Joomla can work with PHP 5.3 since Joomla 1.5.15 but only the core of Joomla! Not every Joomla module is yet able to work on PHP 5.3.

If you want to lecture someone how to answer the right way, you should answer the right way too!To just throw out a possible solution without any explaination is not the right way. Nobody will learn anything from that.

My bad, I thought it would be obvious since I was referencing geethupendra's post you would know we are talking about the php.ini file.

FYI: Joomla! 1.5.14 (Not 1.5.15) and below DOES NOT work with PHP 5.3 at all and 1.5.14 and above with error reporting set to STRICT mode will not work, hence the reason for this thread. Besides the fact that we are talking about a testing environment here I fail to see the argument about suppressing the message and since there are more ways to enable reporting of errors and warnings, suppressing it here is not all inclusively a bad thing or something that is going to hurt a thing! Really all it does to change this is set it to the way it was in XAMPP 1.7.3 and unless you are a developer it has no bearing on the functionality of the CMS.

You claim the answer I gave was not clear so Google it and find out, really it is not at all difficult to do. Since geethupendra was asking for a solution my answer did much more to reply to that than yours "or try a newer Joomla Release" when in fact if you would have read his post he was using the latest release of Joomla! 1.5. Don't even suggest 1.6 since it has no business being out of beta let alone using it as a production environment. Since it's life span is over in 2 months with the release of 1.7 and then the release of 1.8 or 1.9 or 2.0 (who knows what is going on?) set out in early 2012 there is no call to make a mad dash for it anyway.

You are correct that only the core is proven to work at all with PHP 5.3 (IF you make the changes I suggested) and like me I imagine that is the goal for testing with a tool such as XAMPP to see what extensions will and will not work with it.

BTW, my solution is not a "possible" solution it IS a solution and my lecture as you so kindly call it was not directed at you since you did not offer anything of value to the conversation anyway. I replied to this thread to help others make it work, not delve into the far reaches of why it works.

Thanks earthrat. Your solution is better than unistall xampp and trying to install an older version. But I see the risk in just suppressing warning messages. But I can live with that for now.

Joomla 1.6 has become stable, but many important adons is still not ready, the same to say about language files for different components and plug-ins. When you work with Xampp you want to mimic your ISP server. And they can have different settings.

This said, I want to point out that it is a mistake to let Xampp only work with the latest Joomla version. You need a more conservative approach to adapt to the programs and serves used on production sites. I think that at least 6 months is needed before and general migration to joomla 1.6 is possible. Until then I am stuck with Joomla 1.5 and need an ISP that let me continue to use Joomla 1.5.

When the time to upgrade joomla comes, I want to test the new 1.6 site in Xampp first. For this reason xampp needs to handle both 1.5 and 1.6

Actually 1.7 is scheduled for release tomorrow. I am not having any problem running 1.5 sites on my install and the only issue you will have is with extensions. To that end if the extension does not work with the latest version you are at risk of using an extension that is insecure and not worth using anyway.

But thats not a mistake of XAMPP but of the users choosen the wrong XAMPP version. You should choose that XAMPP Version which fits your requirements. If you want to use Joomla 1.5 up to Joomla 1.7 than you take Joomlas technical requirements and see, that maybe a XAMPP Version with PHP 5.2.4+ is the best solution, and thats not XAMPP 1.7.4 but XAMPP 1.7.1 which comes with PHP 5.2.9 and is the last XAMPP release with PHP 5.2.After that you try to set the settings and configuration of Apache, PHP and MySQL the way you can work with it the best (error_reporting, Modules, and so on).

The other possibility is to use more than one XAMPP installation on your computer. XAMPP is very portable and so it's no problem to have more than one instance of it.

Short: YOU are the developer. It is one task of a developer to configure his/her development environment that way he/she can be as efficient as possible.

XAMPP can show you one way, but it can't fit all needs and requirements everywhere in the world.

- use the XAMPP zip versions, not the installer- create for every instance their own folder in the root of your HDD (e.g. c:\xampp171\, c:\xampp173\ ...)- don't use the svc (Windows Service) checkboxes in the XAMPP control panel- you can only start one XAMPP instance at the same time (you can change the ports of the other instances to run multiple instances at the same time, but that can produce complications with some webapplications which just can run be used with port 80)

That way i run a few instances from XAMPP 1.5.13 up to XAMPP 1.7.5b
